RG Cruz, ABS-CBN News

MANILA - House Justice Committee chair Rey Umali on Thursday sought the cancellation of the barangay and SK elections in May.

Umali made the suggestion when he and House Appropriations Committee chair Karlo Nograles joined Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez in the oath-taking of new members of ruling Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan in Agusan del Sur.

Alvarez earlier announced that Nograles and fellow representatives Albee Benitez and Geraldine Roman will be part of PDP-Laban's senatorial ticket for the 2019 midterm elections.
